Does your dog ever...
Not listen to you when you call? Wish they would come right away when you called their name?
Jump on other people and frighten them? Would you love it if they calmly greeted visitors on all fours instead?
Bark at and act aggressively around other dogs? Wish your tail-wagger would go about their business in a calm manner around other pups?
Pull on the leash while you go on walks? Want to feel like the leader instead of being dragged around?
We can help solve ALL of that and MORE!

Does NOT rely on food bribes
NEVER uses yelling, fear or force
WITHOUT using harmful collars or gadgets
Does NOT require hundreds of ‘games’
Who Am I?
Hi, my name is Clarissa Hummel. I’m a long-time animal lover and trainer. I have degrees in Wildlife Biology
and Exotic Animal Training and Management. Throughout my education and work experience, I had the opportunity to work with many different species of animals as well as learn different tools and techniques in
husbandry and positive reinforcement training.
My life took a slightly different turn when my family adopted an Australian Shepherd puppy who was very anxious, fearful, and independent. Even with all of my experience and training, things became very difficult very quickly. I knew there was something I was missing. After a lot of research, I found a method that helped me to better understand and communicate with my dog, alleviate her fears and anxieties, and help me to be the calm, confident leader she needed. The results were so amazing that I continued to study and learn more about these methods and had a sincere desire to help other dog owners have a better relationship with their dogs. I have since been able to deepen my understanding of dog behavior and communication. I look forward to sharing this knowledge with you!
I have been certified through the Dog Trainer Academy, created by "Doggy Dan" who has trained & helped over 80,000 dogs through his method, the Dog Calming Code.

Happy Customers
Don't just take our word for it! Hear from our happy customers who have witnessed the transformation in their dogs almost immediately.
Based on the reviews, I knew Clarissa was good, but I didn't know it would be this good! I didn't think it was possible to see same-day changes in my dog's behavior, but it 100% is with her program. She understands the differences between the way humans and dogs think and act, and she gives great explanations on everything you can do to improve your relationship with your dog into one that fosters respect. With the relationship improvement came the behavior improvement. Now that I understand how to effectively interact and communicate with my dog, he respects and listens to me more than ever. I will use her teachings for the rest of my life! Thank you, Clarissa!
Liz Fink
Clarissa was so helpful in giving us all the information we need to help improve our dog’s severe anxiety. We are already noticing differences with the techniques she gave us just a few hours later that help keep our sweet pup calmer when people come over.
Emily Anderson
Clarissa is wonderful, she knows what she is doing and is very professional and kind. We have really been struggling with our two year old Brittany, but I’m confident with the tools from Calm Nature Dog Training that all of us will be much happier and less stressed. Even after our initial consultation I was noticing changes in our dogs behavior and starting to adjust my thinking and behavior as well. 10/10 would recommend!
